Expedition in Madagascar

Go behind the scenes of scientific research, right in the field, in the middle of the dry tropical forest in Madagascar!

#1: Rendezvous in the jungle

As the scientific expedition to Madagascar's rainforest gets under way, join me on a journey from Réunion Island to the Kirindi-Mitea reserve!

The itinerary includes planes, bush taxis and 4x4s across the whole of the island, so hang on tight!

#2: A scientist in the field

It's time to start the fieldwork for which I came to Madagascar!

But it's not all plain sailing: exploration, prospecting, drone mapping, identification, etc.

I assure you that science is pretty physical!

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​#​3​​:​ Living in the tropical forest

In the field, a scientist generally has a lot of work to do.

But you still have to live! Eating, sleeping, showering... in short, everything is a little more complicated when you're cut off from the world... But you adapt! The proof is in this episode.

#4: Visit my workplace

In this final episode of the series, we discover the biodiversity of the Kirindi tropical dry forest.

My colleagues include snakes, spiders, cockroaches and spider mites, as well as lemurs, birds, frogs and turtles! And they're all very nice, even if they are very impressive...
